Took the Packard wagon to a cruise in

[Daffy427]

I have never heard so many people say"I have never seen one of those before" There were two people who actually knew what it was. This is the first time I've had it out in public so it was a lot of fun.

Beautiful Packard! I've never seen a 1958 Packard wagon in the flesh either. Can't be but a handful left.

Lookin' good!!! The last '58 Packard wagon I saw was Colin Fort's~



And it ain't no lie- It is indeed a bunch of fun to own/drive a '58 Packard.
Here's an old thread about what happened when I took mine out once~

Nice wagon!! Please don't rub in it (the weather that is)! 12 degrees with 4 more inches of snow this morning. We are now over 100 inches for the season!

Put a big smile on My face to see Your 1958 Packard Station Wagon 'Back In Action'! It was like seeing an old friend that I hadn't seen in years! I drove around the Boston area for many, many miles in that baby, when it was owned by Paul Weiner, who also owned an antique furniture store in the Beacon Hill area of Boston. Paul had a fresh paint job put on it....and then He'd park it in front of His store as an 'ATTENTION GETTER'. I also helped install the Packard Hawk (LS) engine into the car, after Paul had it rebuilt by an old time mechanic who worked at the time for Boston Cadillac. (The engine came out of a rusted out PH) Paul unfortunately became ill, and sold the Packard....which years later turned up for sale on ebay....It was in the New York City area then. Best of luck....Your Packard looks real nice!

The bicycle in the second picture is a classic too.

Yes, A Schwinn Pea Picker from about 1969, hope there's a chain on it. Seen really nice originals go for close to $2000.
Looks to be a TVR parked in front of the Packard another rare one.

The roadster is a modified MGB(440 Dodge) that I built from parts accumulated in 25 years of working in and owning junkyards and that Pea Picker is always a huge hit,seems everyone either had or wanted one when they were young and it hauls nicely in the back of a wagon

beautiful '58 Packard!!!

do you have any pics featuring the taillights? - my favorite view.

I had one of those bikes back in the sixties! Mine was blue though. They were expensive bikes and I thought I had died and gone to heaven! The kids across the street one-upped me and got them entirely chromed! It didn't work out very well at the Ranch a year later though. Dad backed his John Deere crawler over it and that, as they say, was that.

There's one pictured in this e-bay ad that looks just like mine did, seat and all:

Well... I didn't have the dice valve covers or the blue Van's.

Wow! Great job on the roadster!
